			<h1>LOGNORM.DIST Function</h1>
			<p>The <b>LOGNORM.DIST</b> function is one of the <a href="../UsageInstructions/InsertFunction.htm#statistical" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">statistical functions</a>. It is used to return the lognormal distribution of <b><em>x</em></b>, where ln(<b><em>x</em></b>) is normally distributed with parameters <b><em>mean</em></b> and <b><em>standard_dev</em></b>.</p>
			<h3>Syntax</h3> 
			<p><b><em>LOGNORM.DIST(x, mean, standard_dev, cumulative)</em></b></p> 
			<p>The <b>LOGNORM.DIST</b> function has the following arguments:</p> 
			<table style="width: 40%">
                <tr>
                    <th style="background-color: #f4f4f4" width="150ch"><b>Argument</b></th>
                    <th style="background-color: #f4f4f4"><b>Description</b></th>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td><b><em>x</em></b></td>
                    <td>The value at which the function should be calculated. A numeric value greater than 0.</td>
                </tr>
				<tr>
                    <td><b><em>mean</em></b></td>
                    <td>The mean of ln(<b><em>x</em></b>), a numeric value.</td>
                </tr>
				<tr>
                    <td><b><em>standard_dev</em></b></td>
                    <td>The standard deviation of ln(<b><em>x</em></b>), a numeric value greater than 0.</td>
                </tr>
				<tr>
                    <td><b><em>cumulative</em></b></td>
                    <td>A logical value (TRUE or FALSE) that determines the function form. If it is TRUE, the function returns the cumulative distribution function. If it is FALSE, the function returns the probability density function.</td>
                </tr>
            </table>
